Patient's question:
10 years ago, I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Oral hormone medication was reduced from 10 to about 1 pill, after which the disease doubled and then returned to normal. Currently, I am taking 1 pill. How can I completely eliminate the hormone and achieve full recovery? What should I do if nephrotic syndrome is sensitive to hormones?Doctor's answer:
Always maintain fresh air in the living room for people who are always in crowded places. Always keep the skin clean to prevent work-related skin injuries. Prevent the spread of infectious diseases and seek medical attention promptly. Eat easily digestible, light diet. Pay attention to the balance of physical and mental rest to enhance the body's immunity. Pay attention to exercising regularly. Regularly review urinalysis and renal function. Diuretic and edema reduction: Thiazide diuretics combined with potassium-sparing diuretics work well; if the effect is not good, switch to osmotic diuretics such as low-molecular-weight dextran albumin or loop diuretics such as furosemide. Indications for the use of human albumin: ① Diuretic effect is not ideal; ② Symptoms of hypovolemia after diuretics; ③ Progressive short-term increase in renal function. Diuretics should not be too easy to cause blood volume reduction, thrombosis, and electrolyte imbalance.
